After doing some searching I’ve finally rounded up about 5 places worth checking out that could be possible module ideas. I’ve decided to focus on sweet spots in Baltimore, but I don’t want it to be generic. I want each of the places to have something unique about them that sets them apart from just the average bakery or candy shop. I recently heard about a bakery called Sweet Sin. Sweet Sin is unique because all of its creations are gluten-free. Gluten is a widley used ingredient in almost everything regular people eat. Cookies, cakes, bread, flour etc., all contain gluten.
Why would anyone need gluten-free products? There’s an uncommon condition called Celiac disease which prevents the patient from processing gluten products. My sister was wrongfully diagnosed with the disease a few years ago and was forced to start a gluten-free diet. She lost 15lbs on the diet and eventually after seeing another doctor was told that she did not have it. “Even though I ended up not actually having Celiac, the diet is rigid. You really can’t eat anything that you normally would,” she says.
Sweet Sin should be a great way to shine light on an alternate bakery with a humble story behind it.
